Chapter 29 Bigfoot clears the siege? ?…(1/2)

Although the Guarani football team is in the same São Paulo state as Sao Paulo, it is two different cities.

Guarani Football Club is in the city of Campinas north of Sao Paulo.

Guarani's home court, Brink de Oro da Princesa Stadium, is located on the east side of Campinas. It is an old stadium that can accommodate more than 32,000 fans. It was built in 1953.

The biggest feature of this stadium is the east stand. A towering curved stand is located on the first floor stand. The slope is very steep and the view of the ball is very good. However, sitting on it will always make people feel that "maybe you will lean forward and you will plant the green onion directly."

The stadium, which can accommodate more than 32,000 people, came about today. It seems that the capacity of this stadium is not enough. Most of the stands are empty.

This is the current situation of Brazilian football.

Except for the home courts of a very small number of teams, most other teams are often empty at home.

Due to the incompetence of the Brazilian state football associations, the domestic event organization is chaotic. In addition, all the famous Brazilian players have gone to Europe to play football, and there are no stars who stay in Brazil who have enough box office appeal, so everyone is not very interested in their own national leagues.

Another very important reason is that Brazil's television broadcasting is very developed, especially in terms of broadcasting European football, which is very developed. Brazilians have gradually become accustomed to watching games at home and are unwilling to watch games on-site.

So most of the courts appear empty.

Even the Molonbi Stadium in Sao Paulo is no exception. Only in important matches like the "Solemn Derby" can there be 80% attendance.

In the humble visiting team locker room, Osvaldo Oliveira is catching up on the time to give the players their final advice.

"Our way to play in this game is very simple, which is to shrink the defense and then fight back quickly. When you have a ball under your feet, it is very simple, just kick the football forward with big feet! Find Rong! Do not pass the football to his feet, pass it in front of him, and kick forward with force. It is better to send it to the opponent's goalkeeper with great strength than to pass it to Rong's feet. Let Rong run and let him increase his speed!"

If it hadn't been for a week of cooperation, the Sao Paulo players would have thought their head coach was crazy - how could this be done to arrange the tactics?

But during a week of training, everyone realized that this seemingly amateur tactic is the most suitable for Saint Paul at present.

Fabiano is still the main attacker in the game against Corinthian, and he has to serve as a foil for Rongguang in this game. His task on the court is to help Rongguang attract the opponent's defensive firepower.

From the beginning, head coach Osvaldo Oliveira made it clear that Glory was the protagonist in this game against Guarani.

Everyone else had to circle around him.

It sounds nonsense to let a rookie who has only been in contact with football for more than a month as the protagonist and lead the entire St. Paul's first team.

But after seeing Glory's speed of breaking glasses and his performance against Corinthian, no one in the first team of Sao Paulo would object - at least not in front of head coach Osvaldo.

But it is precisely because no one else can think of this that it is St. Paul's opportunity.

Now Sao Paulo is seriously injured and has a great loss in strength. The club's senior management does not mention defending the title, but it also requires the team to reach the semi-finals and qualify for the semi-finals.

In order to achieve this goal, you must start grabbing points from now on.

Victory in every game is very important for Sao Paulo. Every three-pointer, Sao Paulo must grab it, and use any means to grab it.

What is amateur playing style? Just win!

"Yunyun, the game is about to begin. Don't you watch it?" Cui Hao sat in his spacious living room, watching the live broadcast of the game between Sao Paulo and Guarani. When he saw his daughter getting up and leaving, he asked curiously.

As a Corinthian fan, he was so active in watching Sao Paulo's game, and glory really had a great impact on him...

Correll snorted: "Kaka is injured, what else can I see in the game?"

"But there is glory." Cui Hao pointed to the TV screen, and the TV broadcasting just gave Glory a close-up.

Commentator Carforry also introduced Rong Guang to everyone in this close-up: "...Rong, a Chinese player who appeared in the last 'sorrowful derby', has been questioned a lot in the past week and has caused a lot of controversy. The debate about whether he is a genius. But I think this game may give a stop to this debate... Because of Kaka's injury and his outstanding performance against Corinthian, Rong got the opportunity to start in the game for the first time... What will he perform, let's wait and see!"

"Who wants to see him!" Correll shouted dissatisfiedly, turned around and walked straight towards the stairs. She wanted to go upstairs and go back to her room. She would not pay attention to the boring match without Kaka!

※※※

Although the stadium was not full and two-thirds were empty, the momentum of 10,000 people was quite amazing. Anyway, it was quite amazing for a mountain boy like Rongguang who had never seen the world.

But he looked around the stands when he appeared, and then he didn't feel relieved about this - he had experienced the "Solemn Derby", but he still cared about this game?

The game began fifteen minutes, and St. Paul had three chances of attacking, one of which he got, but was not sure.

The football just fell to his feet and stopped completely. For the glory without dribbling skills, the attack was over.

He tried to take the ball out, but he almost got into a ball cart with garlic under his feet.

The ball possession is naturally lost.

The laughter of Guarani fans rang in the stands.

After the "Soulous Derby", Glory became a celebrity in the entire St. Paul. Whenever he mentioned his name, he knew who it was.

Previously, the media had always said that Rongguang was a rookie who had studied football for more than a month, and some people were half-believing and half-doubted. Now, seeing Rongguang almost got on the cart and tripped by his own ball, no one doubted it anymore - this kid is really a junior brother who has only come into contact with football!

It's really embarrassing that Corinthian was defeated by such a rookie.

※※※

"This idiot!" Correll's cold snorting rang behind Cui Hao.

Cui Hao, who was still regretting Rong Guang's mistake, turned his head and found that his daughter was standing behind him, staring at the TV screen with a look of disdain.

"Hey, Yunyun, haven't you gone upstairs?" Cui Hao was very surprised.

"I want to see how embarrassing he is!" Correll snorted at Rong Guang on the TV.

Cui Hao shook his head with a smile.

He knew his daughter very well, and what he said and thought in his heart was often different...

※※※

"Rong almost tripped by the ball under his feet... His poor performance caused laughter from the fans in the stands... After his outbreak in the game against Corinthian, he was exposed by the media. Everyone knows that he has only been in contact with regular football training for more than a month and is a pure newcomer. He has performed well in the game against Corinthian, perhaps just luck. What makes people wonder why Osvaldo Oliveira insists on starting..." Jeke Caffre's commentary was very calm and objective, and his analysis was very clear. The information was very detailed, but the disadvantage was that he lacked a little passion.

In comparison, Bueno's commentary was much more ignited.

"After saving the team against Corinthian, Rong was investigated by the media in all aspects. Now everyone knows that he is a rookie newbie. Rookie, you have lost the veil of mystery and exposed nakedly to this cruel professional world. So are you ready? Are you ready to face the challenge? If you are not ready, you will die miserably! Being ridiculed is just the slightest setback! It is still time to quit now!"

※※※

How could Rongguang withdraw? He followed his agent Godot out of the mountain village and had no intention of going back in shame.

He almost tripped, and after just cursing a "bastard" in his heart, he started to join the game again.

Emotionally, it was not affected.

He is not the kind of person who suffers setbacks, fails, never ends, and never gets out.

What kind of environment does it raise what kind of people? The mountain village boy who plays happily in the mountains has the simplest mentality and cheerful personality. His heart is like the vast sky and mountains. How could it be so easily defeated?

Just as he never cared about the noise made by hostile fans in the stands, he naturally didn't care about the laughter.

Although it was away, Godo still followed the team to Campinas. He had to watch every game of Rongguang on the spot. If there was any problem, he could also appear next to Rongguang as soon as possible.

He frowned when he saw Glory almost tripping over his ball in the stands and heard the unfriendly laughter sounding in the stands.

I hope this mistake will not affect the glory and will not be a bad sign.

Grayson sat in the media seat with a laptop in front of him. Seeing Rong Guang actually landing in a ball cart, he sneered.

Then he spread his hands and said to other reporters around him: "See? Have you seen it? What am I saying? A rookie, a complete rookie, can a genius take a ball cart? It's really ugly!"

The reporters who agreed also expressed sneering.

Rongguang's performance just now was indeed embarrassing, and he did not show the talent that the Lancettp://www.res.com.

He was clumsy like a layman.

On the other side, Coelho Costa couldn't help laughing when he saw the embarrassing scene of Glory.

But his smile is not ridicule.

Instead, I was simply amused by glory.

This kid...

I haven't learned it yet, I just want to do it.

He clearly possesses talent, but he is a rookie.

Glory's poor performance seemed to affect Sao Paulo's offense. After that, Sao Paulo did not get any good offensive opportunities for ten minutes. Whether it was Glory or Luis Fabiano, they could only cruise in the midfield and defend symbolically.

However, Guarani, who played at home, has always taken advantage of his home court to keep the situation in his own hands.

They learned from Corinthian's lesson. Although they were playing against Sao Paulo, they did not give Sao Paulo's midfielders too much room to get the ball like Corinthian.

If they concede the ball in the frontcourt, they will quickly press in the frontcourt, either intercept the ball directly and then counterattack. Even if they can't stop, they can interfere with Sao Paulo's counterattack.

Unlike Corinthian, Guarani did not make any defense against Glory. On the contrary, they attached great importance to São Paulo's midfielder Baptista and forward Luis Fabiano, especially Baptista. After both Ricardinho and Kaka were injured in the midfield organization core, Baptista took over the task of organizing the offense. In the last game, São Paulo's goal was instigated by him.

Guarani believes that the reason why São Paulo's counterattack is threatening is because of Baptista.

As long as he curbs Baptista, cuts off the connection between him and Glory, and prevents him from giving football to Glory easily, no matter how fast the Glory is, it will be useless.

The game has been going on for more than twenty minutes now, and from the scene, the effect is pretty good.

Guarani's head coach Giba was on the coach's seat, with her hands wrapped around her chest, and a faint smile on her face, looking calm and confident.

There is really no need to go through a lot of trouble when dealing with a rookie, this is enough.

A rookie who can only pass, catch, and even shoot, can score Corinthian by luck. What's the use of letting him get the ball in the frontcourt? Look at his embarrassed look when he was almost tripped by his football...
